Elizabeth: The Golden Age - Mediocre, at best. Slow and dragged on. Shorten it to 2 hours and it's golden. It's not, so it fails.

Michael Clayton - Amazing. Everything about it is awesome. However, it's VERY complex and mind bending. You have to think, so be prepared. I still feel like I'm missing key details of exactly what happened. Gotta see it again.

Across the Universe - Perfect is one word that comes to mind. It just works. And, contrary to many people I bet, the movie is best viewed sober. Trust me.

I obviously disagree about the feelings of the movie but I have a couple things:

I think I missed your review. Did you dislike it or like it? I can't tell from this statement.

As far as the music, as I mentioned, that's a pet peeve of mine. I just didn't care for it at all. I'm extremely tired of the same old "Hans Zimmer" score (that includes all of his guys at Remote Control) and was excited to hear a blockbuster with someone other than one of his guys. But unfortunately (IMO), this wasn't even on the same level as one of his normal scores. I was completely underwhelmed by not only the composition but the music production. Blah. Actually, Yuck.

Again, that's just my thing. I know that 90% of the people that watch films (that does not include you) don't pay attention to the score at all.

Didnt even realize Zimmer did the score? To me it was practically non existent.

I like most of his scores.

I liked Iron Man. I thought Favs did a wonderful job with the character. It has a nice balance to the dark take of Batman.

I agree about Hans Zimmer, though I really like James Newton Howard.
